nancy pelosi responded to some members of both parties calling to go ahead and go over the cliff. >> i don't think it's my role to go to the table with a threat. i think it's my role to go to the table with some ideas to be receptive to what we can come to agreement on. i'm not criticizing statements others make. but what i am saying is that there's too much at risk. and even if you went over the cliff for one month and then corrected it, you would still have a loss of gdp. >> and we've already started our discussion with our guest hosts, jeremy siegel and steve forbes. jeremy, we already had the beginning of this discussion. i'll start with you because i said you can see it sort of happening in some of the averages and you see the front page journal piece today about corporations cutting back on spending. do you not ascribe much to the notion that people are already acting with some trepidation about this and it could be harmful? >> i think the fall since the election is clearly the cliff might be close. there's hope that it had romney won, that force would mitigate or eliminate it,
